A purply pinky pallette is often used for cosmic horror. I don't know if this is because of magenta 'not existing' or if it's just a coincidence but it's a good choice anyway

This is a good take although I still prefer the sinister ending of the film over the redemptive one in the book. Later editions include a foreword by Burgess lamenting the omission of the 21st chapter in part because he wrote three acts of seven chapters for the symmetry of it and the symbolism of 21 being the age of majority

If Chins Could Kill definitely qualifies

Ayoade on Top

Blurb:

At last, the definitive book about perhaps the best cabin-crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top, starring Gwyneth Paltrow

His other one The Grip of Film is good too, recommend the audio versions of both

If you like John Waters it is worth reading Shock Value

it's not weird but it's also not weird if he isn't into it. amongst my own friend group there's some with siblings or cousins who come along to the pub etc but there's also others who keep their friends compartmentalised, who keep in touch with school friends, work friends, family members, whatever groups entirely seperately

so ask, you have nothing to lose, but don't take it personally if he doesn't like the idea

express your individuality through “dopamine dressing”

fuck you

leaders can foster team spirit and cohesion by holding a daily check-in

fuck you

team members ask each other how they respond to stress

fuck you

what Groff calls “thin-slicing” joy

fuck you

at least the comments under the article are pretty sane

someone posted a link to this article in the guardian comments section i was reading on my work laptop. when i clicked it, iboss intervened and sent me an interstitial page that said 'redirecting you to an approved resource' which turned out to be ms copilot

the osa was dreamed up by the tories and enthusiastically implemented by labour. even if proportional rep or whatever alternative to fptp was established before the act came into force, there is little chance that one of these main parties wouldn't have had enough influence to push it through regardless

meddlesome ratbag caused minor inconvenience to him resulting in good free advertising for his shop, i'd say he wins here

If you're in need, I understand, and I would never class you as a scumbag if you were doing it out of necessity.

But nobody needs a funky shirt or a pinball machine, they just would like them.

i'd like to see someone shuffling out of there with a pinball machine stuffed in their drawers
